? Rhonda: I LOVE THAT SONG! HE WAS ONE OF AMERICA'S FAVORITE FINALISTS ON "THE VOICE," CERTAINLY OURS HERE IN METRO DETROIT. HE IS BACK TO TAKE PART IN ONE OF METRO DETROIT'S MOST EXCITING EVENTS. TONY IS LIVE HERE ON "LOCAL 4 NEWS MORNING." Guy: IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM HERE! AND YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY, THAT ALL IT TAKES IS THAT ONE PERFORMANCE HEARD BY THE RIGHT PERSON TO TOTALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AND THAT COULD HAPPEN TONIGHT ON SUPER SINGER. IT WILL BE NICE TO HAVE THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT. AND LOOK AT THINGS OBJECTIVELY. . RHONDA: WE HAVE FIVE FINALISTS WHO WILL BE PERFORMING TONIGHT ON THE SUPER SINGER KE COMPETITION, COVERAGE BEGINS AT 8:00 TONIGHT. THIS IS YOUR SECOND TIME COMING TO THE FIREWORKS. YOU HAVE A BIG TRADITION IN YOUR FAMILY? SPECIFICALLY MY MOM. FOURTH OF JULY IS HER MARDI GRAS, HER SUPER BOWL, HER NEW YEAR'S EVE, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE. AND SO SHE'S BEEN WATCHING THE FIREWORKS SHOW FOR HER WHOLE LIFE. WHEN I SAID, I'VE GOT TICKETS, SHE FLIPPED OUT! AND WE HAD A BALL LAST YEAR. IT WAS GREAT. MY IN-LAWS WERE IN TOWN. WHEN I GOT THE CALL TO COME DOWN THIS YEAR, SHE, OF COURSE, WAS THE FIRST PERSON ON MY LIST TO MAKE SURE SHE GOT A TICKET. Guy: SO MOM IS THE OTHER AGENT. YES. Guy: TELL US ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM AND WORKING FOR 222 RECORDS WITH ADAM LEVINE. YES, IT WAS QUITE A PLEASANT SURPRISE ON THE HEELS OF THE SHOW. OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WIN THE THING, BUT THAT'S SUBJECTIVE, BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO HAVE A SUCCESS STORY ON THE HEELS OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ADAM SAID, I'M WILLING TO ROLL THE DICE ON IT, LET'S DO IT. Rhonda: NOT A BAD GOOD FRIEND TO HAVE SUPPORTING YOU! [LAUGHTER] AND WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC? I KNEW BY WORKING WITH ADAM AND DOING SOMETHING LIKE "THE VOICE," I WASN'T GOING TO MAKE SOME SORT OF COFFEE HOUSE RECORD, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A BIG RECORD AND I WAS EXCITED FOR THAT CHALLENGE. I WORKED WITH GAVIN McGRAW AND SOME HIGH-OCTANE POWER AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. THE SINGLE IS OUT ON iTUNES AND WE PERFORMED IT ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO ON "THE VOICE." Guy: HOW ACTIVE IS ADAM IN IT OR IS HE HANDS OFF? HE'S LIKE, I WANT YOU TO MAKE THE RECORDS YOU MAKE. I'VE GOT A TEAM IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT OUT THERE OFF THE DEEP END. BUT THEY SAID, DO YOUR THING! AND WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE YOU ON OUR ROSTER. Rhonda: AWESOME! Ashlee: BACK OVER TO YOU, GUY AND RHONDA. Rhonda: WE'RE BACK WITH TONY LUCCA. WE REMEMBER FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIS VOICE ON "THE VOICE," AND HE HAS RELEASED HIS NEW ALBUM, WORKING ON THE LABEL WITH ADAM LEVINE. Guy: THE NEW SINGLE IS OUT NOW. AND THE FIRST TIME YOU CAN HEAR IT, "NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO" WITH TONY LUCCA. Rhonda: TAKE IT AWAY. ? MY LEGS ARE GETTING TIRED OF RUNNING, RUNNING AT THE SPEED OF SOUND ?
